this week when out walking I saw freshly fallen snow, decorated with animal tracks, and footprints.

a farmer bringing his sheep down the lane, herding them on an off road bike, with the sheep dog balanced precariously on the back, his long tongue hanging out and his ears blown upright by the speed of the bike!

I saw fir trees delicately laced with snowflakes﻿

and a lone set of tyre tracks where someone has bravely driven through the ford,

best of all I saw a huge holly bush, it's leaves tipped with snowy crystals and glinting in the winter sunshine.

I live near the sea in Northumberland where I drink a lot of tea, bake gluten free cakes, make quilts, and walk on the beach. The rest of the family includes J - understanding hubby, Miss K - 17, and E - 15.
